I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.

All of us must be saints in this world. Holiness is a duty for you and me. So let's be saints and so give glory to the Father.

There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness, and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

From the moment a soul has the grace to know God, she must seek.

The poor are our brothers and sisters ... people in the world who need love, who need care, who have to be wanted.

When we judge others we leave no room to love them.
